Re: Introduction: Kyle
Rangers, I participated in a 6 mile ruck with 50 pounds of gear on Friday. This ROTC PT class has really turned out to be a huge help in preparing me for the road ahead. We will be holding one of our PFT's on the 25th in class. Also, there will be a company ruck with even more weight next Friday. Th...

Re: Introduction: Kyle
Not exactly what I meant, my intention was to tell you not to fixate on that AQFT score. You need to do well on the whole test. Your line scores are all derived combinations of sections, so you can't focus on the GT section. Treat that test like a PT test, get rest the night before you take it, eat...

Re: Introduction: Kyle
Not to swerve out of my lane, but I would not focus so much on your AFQT. It's only an average of the first few sections. While your AFQT needs to be high, your line scores are more important to getting your job choice. I believe a GT of 110 or higher is required for Regiment, and last I read it wa...

Re: Introduction: Kyle
Those PT numbers are looking good, young man. You neglected to update us on your ASVAB. Please give your current score and keep training. Only intestinal fortitude will assist you in your goals. Push hard. Push harder. Never quit. Roger, Ranger Fuego. My recruiter said I will be taking the ASVAB ov...

Re: Introduction: Kyle
There are a number of worthwhile MOSs. Do your homework and think about what is best for you. Never, never quit! Roger, Ranger Jim. I've talked with the recruiter and will be DEPing in soon. He made it seem like it wouldn't be hard for him to get an Option 40 contract for me. I'll be sure to update...

Push-ups: 76
Sit-ups: 71
Pull-ups: 14
2 Mile: 12:58
I really thought it would be better than this. I've got a lot of work to do over these next few months. I've started running a whole lot more recently, so I'm expecting to see a huge difference in that event in the near future.
